The Point is in a great location as it is in the middle of the city centre. Union Square - where most of the shops are located is a 10-15 minute walk and Bon Accord Shopping Centre is also a mere 5 minute walk. You are however located next to the bar distract (Belmont Street) so it can get quite noisy on Saturday nights (especially since the window in our room faces the pubs). There is 24-hour concierge so you won't have to worry about drunk people wandering in after a night out. You're allowed to use the staff parking when you're moving in which means you can bring furniture etc. without having to worry about hauling it from across town. But otherwise Bon Accord (Harriet Street) Car Park is a few minutes away and it costs £95 a month per car.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I've not really raised any issues so far so can't really comment. I have noted that our room is too small for two people to live in but there isn't much that they can do if they haven't got a lot of one bedroom apartments available.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I don't think cooking in our studio is the easiest thing to do. I would have probably brought less cookery items if I knew I wouldn't be cooking much since there isn't much counter space, and after cooking you don't have a lot of space to clean and wash up. The only time when I'd cook a proper meal is when I'm in the club room, otherwise I tend to lean towards instant/microwave meals or deliveries.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Very central location with lots of amenities close by. Discounted parking permits available for Harriet Street & Loch Street car parks, which are just few minutes walk away from the apartment. Despite being right next door to the busy night life of Belmont street, it is nice and quiet inside the apartments. There is traffic noise from Denburn and the railway line, but only noticeable when the apartment window is open,

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Queries have been responded to very quickly and issues resolved in a timely manner.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The social events hosted on a regular basis. These are a great opportunity to meet other residents. The recent quiz night was very enjoyable, with snacks and drinks provided, and there were prizes available to the winning teams.
